Dali Museum to Showcase Artist's Spanish Paintings

The High Museum of Art will present the exhibit “Salvador Dali: The Late Work” through Jan. 2, including this work from 1962 entitled “Fifty Abstract Paintings Which as Seen from Two Yards Change into Three Lenins Masquerading as Chinese and as Seen from Six Yards Appear as the Head of a Royal Bengal Tiger.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg will welcome 12 works by its famous Spanish surrealist namesake never before seen in America.

The Tampa Tribune reports that "The Royal Inheritance: Dalφ works from the Spanish National Collection" exhibit will run Oct. 1 through March 13, 2013.

The works on display come from the National Collection of Modern Art in Spain.

Dali Museum Director Hank Hine said the paintings were in the artist's possession when he died.

The exhibit will feature examples of Dali's technical skill in four paintings from 1918 to 1924 of pristine still lifes and nude studies.

It also will include a pair of paintings that create a three-dimensional experience.
